Instructions
Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Mince the garlic and chop the scallions.
Combine all meatball ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Using a small scooper, form 24 equal-sized meatballs. (For reference, mine were approximately 1.5 ounces each).
Spray a mini muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. If you don't have a mini muffin tin, use a baking sheet.
Add one meatball to each opening of the muffin tin, or lay them on the baking sheet.
Cook the meatballs for 15 minutes.
Glaze
Mince the garlic.
Combine all glaze ingredients in a sauce pan and whisk together.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent clumping.
Cook for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce, and cook for another minute or two.
Add sesame seeds and more chopped scallions for garnish.
